Issuing a note of warning, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Tuesday said public suffering and anarchy centring BNP’s mass sit-in programme in Dhaka will not be tolerated.
“BNP will not face any obstruction if they hold their programme peacefully. If their programme becomes the reason for public suffering, it will not be tolerated,” he told reporters after inaugurating a Mujib Corner at the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) headquarters.
The government did not create any obstructions to BNP’s programmes, but the party resorted to violence in their previous programmes, he said, adding “The law enforcers will resist them if they block roads and carry out vandalism and destructive activities in the name of mass sit-in programme.”
Inspector General of Police (IGP) Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun and DMP Commissioner Khandker Golam Faruq and other high officials concerned were present.
Earlier, BNP announced mass sit-in programmes in all divisional cities of the country on January 11. The party will organise the sit-in programme in Dhaka in front of its central office at Naya Paltan.
